Overview of Methanol Production
Methanol is produced primarily through the
catalytic hydrogenation
of
carbon monoxide
and
carbon dioxide
with
hydrogen
, using a
copper-based catalyst.

Conditions for the Reaction
Optimal conditions include a temperature range of
200-300°C
, a pressure range of
50-100
atm, and the presence of a
copper
/
zinc oxide
/
alumina catalyst.
